Complications after gamma knife radiosurgery for benign meningiomas.
OBJECTIVES To analyse the results of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKS) for the treatment of intracranial meningiomas and to assess possible factors related to the outcome and complications of such treatment. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiological data of 179 patients (194 lesions) treated with GKS for meningiomas between May 1992 and October 2000. The mean fol...
متن کاملQuantitative tumor volumetric responses after Gamma Knife radiosurgery for meningiomas.
OBJECT The reported tumor control rates for meningiomas after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are high; however, early imaging assessment of tumor volumes may not accurately predict the eventual tumor response. The objective in this study was to quantitatively evaluate the volumetric responses of meningiomas after SRS and to determine whether early volume responses are predictive of longer-term...
متن کاملGamma knife radiosurgery for the treatment of cavernous sinus meningiomas.
OBJECTIVE We report on the efficacy of gamma knife radiosurgery for cavernous sinus meningiomas. METHODS Between January 1994 and December 1999, we used gamma knife radiosurgery for the treatment of 43 patients with cavernous sinus meningiomas. Forty-two patients were followed up for a mean of 49.4 months (range, 18-84 mo). The patients' average age was 55 years (range, 18-81 yr). Twenty-two ...
متن کاملGamma knife stereotactic radiosurgery for radiation-induced meningiomas.
BACKGROUND Radiation-induced meningiomas present a unique clinical dilemma given the fact that patients with these tumors have often received a prior full course of radiotherapy. As such, traditional radiotherapy is limited by lifetime tissue tolerances to radiation, leaving surgery and radiosurgery as attractive treatment options. OBJECTIVES To ascertain the safety and efficacy of Gamma Knif...
متن کاملLong term experience of gamma knife radiosurgery for benign skull base meningiomas.
OBJECTIVES As most reports on the gamma knife have related only to short or mid-term results, we decided to evaluate the effectiveness and toxicity of radiosurgical treatment for benign skull base meningiomas in 200 patients with a follow up of 5-12 years to define the role of gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for basal meningiomas and to provide further data for comparison with other treatment o...
